Dell Introduces De-dupe Appliance, Moves Compellent To 64-bit Software

	Dell Introduces De-dupe Appliance, Moves Compellent To 64-bit Software

Dell has introduced its de-duplication appliance based on its Ocarina technology and upgraded the software for its enterprise-class Compellent storage line with 64-bit technology.

The moves, along with others including a new storage solution for Microsoft SharePoint and new storage support for its own Force10 and for Brocade technology, were unveiled at the Dell Storage Forum in London.

The updates to Dell's storage lines came in the wake of several acquisitions in the last couple of years which have turned Dell from a developer of low-end storage and a reseller of EMC's enterprise storage to one of the top providers of enterprise-class storage based on its own intellectual property.

“As a result, Dell now has a number of different technologies which it can start applying across its multiple storage lines,” said Mike Davis, Director, Product Marketing, NAS and Back-up Storage Products, Dell.

"It will be a long process to bring these together with a common management platform. It is part of our five-year storage roadmap," said Davis.

Dell has already taken its first step toward unifying its storage technologies. The company in October started integrating networking technology from its August acquisition of networking vendor Force10 Networks into its Dell vStart virtualization infrastructure offering and added compression technology from its July, 2010 acquisition of Ocarina Networks into its DX Object storage platform.

At the London event, Dell unveiled Compellent Storage Center 6.0, the first major upgrade of the Compellent storage array's operating system since Dell acquired Compellent last year.

“The biggest change is transition from the previous 32-bit architecture to a new 64-bit architecture,” said Bob Fine, Director, Product Marketing, Dell Compellent.

“The new code base is also more agile than in the past with the ability to upgrade to new protocols such as SAS and FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) via plug-in cards,” he added.

Dell has also added integration with CommVault's data protection software to provide improved resiliency of data stored on Compellent hardware.

“Also new with Dell Compellent is enhanced integration with VMware for virtualized data center environments. This includes the addition of VMware vSphere storage APIs to speed up the deployment of virtual machines and significantly improve storage performance for data volumes shared by multiple virtual machines,” said Fine.

“The arrays also now support VMware's Site Recovery Manager (SRA) 5 for automated failback from a disaster, as well as VMware technology for managing Compellent virtualized storage pools,” he added.

Dell also used the London event to introduce its first de-dupe appliance based on its Ocarina technology. That device, the DR4000, decreases disk capacity requirements by up to a factor of 15 times, and provides inline de-dupe and compression and replication of de-duped data. It provides backup storage for as low as 25 cents per GB list price, Dell said.

“The DR4000 targets the backup needs of remote and branch offices as well as traditional businesses,” Davis said. “Therefore, it is really focused on the channel.”

The DR4000 is not Dell's first de-dupe appliance. The company also offers the DL2200, an appliance built around CommVault's Simpana de-dupe application.

“Going forward, Dell plans to increase the capacity of the DR4000, and integrate its capabilities with Dell's EqualLogic and Compellent product lines and the Dell cloud,” said Davis.

Dell also unveiled its new Dell solution for Microsoft SharePoint Infrastructure Optimization, which combines Dell DX storage appliances; Dell Microsoft SharePoint assessment, design, and deployment services; and the AvePoint DocAve software for managing migration and other features.

“The result is an integrated solution for SharePoint lifecycle management and migration that improves capacity utilization, performance, business continuity, and compliance,” said Davis.

Dell also validated its Dell Force10 S481010-Gbit Ethernet switch and its deep-buffer S60 1-Gbit/10-Gbit Ethernet switches for its EqualLogic storage appliance line, giving the EqualLogic auto-recognition and auto-configuration features.

Dell also integrated support for its Dell PowerConnect 8024 10GB switches and M8024-k Blade IO modules in its Compellent array lines to integrate them in the field in a single step.

Also new is support for Brocade's new 16GB Fibre Channel infrastructure with its Compellent line.

Dell's new Compellent Storage Center 6.0 software and DR4000 dedupe appliance are slated to be released sometime this calendar quarter.

Sony has taken it’s time to come up with a tablet

Sony has become the new entrant in the booming tablet computer market with two models, named the Tablet S and the Tablet P. Sony’s entry into this market is a good two years behind the Apple iPad which created the market and continues to dominate it with market shares upward of 75 percent.

There are now over a dozen makes in the market including Samsung, Motorola, blackberry, and HP. The tablet computer market is however booming with 2012 sales expected to top 100 million units, growing 50 percent over 2011. Sony’s late entry will therefore not be a problem in this boom market. Sony, given its iconic image in consumer electronics, cannot come out with a me-too product and the tablet S and the tablet P are distinctive products with some compelling features. The Sony tablet S is priced at around $500, the same level as the iPad, signaling that there is, as yet, no call for a price based market positioning.

Wedge shaped shape

To begin with, the Sony tablet S has an unusual wedge shape, with a thickness of 0.3 inch at the thin edge and 0.79 inch at the thick edge. This shape has been described as that of a magazine folded open. Sony claims that the wedge shape makes it easier to hold the tablet as the weight distribution reduces wrist strain, though the Sony tablet weighs the same 1.33 pounds as the iPad. More practically, the wedge shape permits the tablet screen to be visible and usable when laid on the table which is a problem with every other tablet. The casing is in black textured plastic which looks elegant. The tablet has a 9.4 inch screen, similar to the iPad’s 9.7 inch.

The tablet P is hinged and has dual 5.5 inch screens that can be used independently or configured as a single screen. The folding feature makes the tablet P more convenient to carry in the pocket. The LCD displays incorporate Sony’s TrueBlack technology used in HD TVs to improve clarity. The capacitive touch screen has been tweaked to improve response to finger movements. Both front and back cameras are built-in. The front camera is for video conferencing and the 5 megapixel back camera for still and video photography.

Android operating system

The tablet uses the android 3.2 honeycomb operating system. Trade circles, however, claim that this will soon be upgraded to the new android 4.0 operating system. The android operating system is continually being upgraded but lacks the completeness of Apple’s iOS system, which is the major, plus point of the iPad. The Sony tablets use the Nvidia Tegra 2 processor with 1 GHz clock speed. It has a built in 1 GB memory expandable to 16 or 32 GB through memory cards. The expanded memory is however only partially usable as about half of it is lost in file configuration.

Interesting additional uses

Sony has capitalized on its entertainment electronics repertoire to build in two interesting features. One is the ability to use the tablets as a universal remote that can control TV sets, the home theater system, blu-ray players, and DVD players of all makes. The Sony tablet is also designed for use as a Play Station terminal which should make it hugely popular with gaming enthusiasts, as Sony is the leader in this segment. A thoughtful minor feature is that the Sony tablet can be propped on a stand on the tabletop to display a clock face or to be used as an electronic picture frame.

Access to Sony’s cloud based content

Sony has built-in its own music player into the tablets, which is superior to the android music player. The tablets also have access to Sony’s cloud based Music Unlimited and Video Unlimited stores and in the future could have greater access to the Play Station gaming modules to make the Sony tablets approach the Apple iPad level of integration of hardware, software and services which is the benchmark to which other tablets have to measure up.
